This tutorial was created with PSP2020 and translated with PSPX7, but it can also be made using other versions of PSP.
Since version PSP X4, Image>Mirror was replaced with Image>Flip Horizontal,
and Image>Flip with Image>Flip Vertical, there are some variables.
In versions X5 and X6, the functions have been improved by making available the Objects menu.
In the latest version X7 command Image>Mirror and Image>Flip returned, but with new differences.

***
I created this gif in 2015, after weeks of searching for the right keyboard
and the "right" fingers to place on the keys.
I was very sorry to see it in a tutorial, manipulated to remove my signature
and add that of the person who took it from my site, without asking my permission.
If he had, I wouldn't have denied it.
I hope thes people realize the impropriety and remove the gif from their tutorials.
